The Midnight Heir AT WHAT COST?
A couple of hours later, Anthony took in a deep but calm breath then opened his eyes slowly as he sighed peacefully.The first thing he noticed is that he was facing the ceiling and the second is realizing that all the pain he had been feeling before had upped and vanished.At the same time, he wasn’t surprised by the fact, he somewhat expected it but he had no idea why it was. Where did the strong feeling that he would be relieved from all pain come from? He wondered.He brought his left hand to his field of vision which was the ceiling to stare at it.He stared at his palm and then at the back of his hand, alternating multiple times while wiggling his fingers around and cracking the bones in his fingers until finally, he clenched his fist as tight as possible.He was measuring what his current strength was and it was back to normal. At the same time, he felt like this normal strength that he had had his entire life is his weakest and he could get stronger.The reason he felt like th
The Midnight Heir SPARE KEY
Not long after they finished having their conversation, Anthony went to take a shower and clean up the dirt and dried blood on his body while Tessa waited for him by the window.She would have sat down but only the messy bed which had Anthony’s dried blood smeared on it was available and she didn’t want to sit there When Anthony was done he came out looking and smelling fresh, wearing the pair of clothes he took inside the bathroom when he returned from Gem fest with the box and he joined her to continue looking out the window.“I just realized this but what brought you here in the first place?” Anthony asked Tessa.Tessa jolted with widened eyes then answered “Oh, that’s right. I came here originally to give you this. Unfortunately, something else took precedence but I'm glad that’s over with. Anyway, here” she said, reaching into her back trouser pocket and bringing out the half access card Anthony had given her.She extended it to Anthony and he looked at it in her hand.She said
The Midnight Heir REBRANDING AND REDESIGN
Anthony was about to walk into the restaurant when something by the side caught his eye.It was a little sign which says [WELCOME TO THE BRAND REOPENING OF THE GRAND BLUE RESTAURANT] and a time of opening for when the night shift usually starts.“They rebranded?” Anthony asked himself and then finally walked into the restaurant.The first thing he noticed is that the interior had been renovated again and unlike the last renovation which was mostly a theme change and a little reconstruction, this time it was a complete makeover from how it used to be.If Anthony didn’t know better, he would have thought that it was an entirely different restaurant he just walked in.From what he saw he was impressed with the job done and he knew that whoever choose the plans for this design had really good taste.At the same time, he knew who that person was, the new manager of the restaurant of course, and Michael already had great style back when he was just a regular staff and was doing more with hi
The Midnight Heir RETIRED
At first, Michael was surprised to see that it was Anthony that wanted to see him but after they exchanged pleasantries and a firm handshake the mood became serious again.“So, the time has finally come. I had a feeling you will be coming to my office for this so I already drafted everything and all that’s left is a signature” Michel said as he brought out Anthony’s resignation paper from his desk drawer.He gave the piece of paper to Anthony who took it and grimaced with surprise that the man plans this much ahead.Casey smirked at Anthony and said “What can you say about that? Is he the best freaking manager or what?” Michael looked at Casey, annoyed, and said “How many times have I told you to watch your language when at work, especially when in my office”Casey scratched the back of her head, chuckling nervously as she said “Sorry about that, it just slipped out. I promise, it won’t happen again”“Foul words always slip out with you and how many times have you made that same prom
The Midnight Heir MAN IN AN EXPENSIVE SUIT
The distance between the kitchen and the entrance was somewhat far and due to the redesign, it’s hard to see through the counter that separates the main dining area and the kitchen. As such, they couldn’t see Anthony without being hinted to look directly at him and that’s how he’s staying out of their sight.Anthony’s hearing had improved slightly ever since he woke up and the chocolate complexion man was loud when he talked which allowed Anthony to hear when they called his name.Knowing that this involves him somehow, Anthony activated his glowing eyes and checked the energy around the men, seeing that they had guns and were ready to use them if necessary and then he turned off the ability.Anthony grunted as he crossed his arms “I don’t know them from anywhere so what could they want with me?” He mumbledMichael and Casey looked at each other in confusion.Michael looked back at the man, chuckling nervously “I’m sorry sir but I think you’re in the wrong place. There’s no employee
The Midnight Heir SIT DOWN
Michael looked at Anthony with a confused expression."Favorite, you know these people?!" Michael asked, making the same shocked face that matched the same one Casey had."Favorite, how do you know these dangerous people?" Casey asked but was ignored by the one she wanted answers from, Anthony who was too dumbfounded to listen to any questions right now.The Overseer whose name was actually Victor looked at Anthony for a little while. He was smirking at how dispirited the silver haired man was at the moment and then he looked at Casey."A little favor from a customer, Miss. Call him by his real name, Anthony Star, from now on, okay? No more of that made-up rubbish that I'm sure he had The Busboys help him create, isn't that right, Tony?" The overseer said while Casey repeated Anthony's name to herself.She just like Michael was trying to figure out why he would lie and hide his true identity from everyone. Not just that, they also wondered how he was able to accomplish a feat like that
The Midnight Heir POKER FACE
Anthony looked above The Overseer's head like he wanted, focusing on the tip of the Overseer's pointing finger then sighed because he knew he wouldn't be able to read his thoughts.He didn't even attempt to do it because he had tried before with Benjamin Oswald and he remembered vividly what the outcome of that little experiment was and so there was no point in going through that torture again.Anthony lowered his gaze back to the Overseer's eyes and the man in front of him grimaced."That was fast! Let me guess, you didn't read it, did you?" An annoyed Overseer said then laughed "What? You think I'm not worth using your power on or what is this?!""Victor, listen—" Anthony said but was cut off."I said, look over my head and read what I'm thinking!" The Overseer commanded and Anthony huffed then looked above his head once more.Using his very strong poker face, Anthony acted like his power to read minds was still intact as he continued staring above The Overseer's head for seconds lo
The Midnight Heir BURNER PHONE
"I'm going to kill you then I'm going to find anyone you've ever formed a bond with and I'll tell them how disgusting your past was. I’ll watch their despair as they wonder if they should grieve for you or curse your name and when they think it’s over, I'll kill them too" The Overseer said and an image of Annabelle flashed through Anthony’s mind.‘I'm the reason he lost the only family he had so maybe it's fine if I let him get his revenge. Hopefully, that'll pull him out of this darkness’ Anthony thought and then closed his eyes as Cold cocked the gun and started pulling back the trigger.He was going to allow Cold to kill him and maybe help The Overseer who he blames himself for becoming this way. But then, the thoughts of Annabelle, Satyre, Mr. Rose Dana, and all the people he's formed bonds with started flooding his mind.‘I can't just leave them and die like this. Mr. Rose Dana sacrificed two decades of his life working hard to make sure I have everything I need when I finally mak
